Ana Deborah Lana
Ana Deborah is a Research and Content Intern at Data-Pop Alliance. She holds a BA in International Relations from Centro Universitário de Belo Horizonte – UniBH, in Minas Gerais (MG), Brazil.
Prior to her internship, Ana was a Face-to-Face Fundraiser and an International Human Resources Assistant for Doctors Without Borders. Upon the outbreak of the COVID-19 crisis, Ana volunteered for the Municipality of Belo Horizonte’s International Relations Department as a researcher on best practices against the pandemic. She is currently a member of “Cio da Terra”, a grassroots collective of Migrant, Refugee, and Stateless Women in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Her participation in the Collective led her to become a mediator in public hearings for the creation of the First Public Policy Plan on Migrant Rights in the State of MG, an initiative led by the COMITRATE with support from the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
During her undergraduate studies, Ana was a member of a research lab where she developed an interest on the intersection between gender, migration, and environmental studies. For her thesis, she analyzed the impacts of multinational mining companies on native communities in Peru, highlighting native women’s role in advocating against the expropriation of indigenous lands by such corporations. Furthermore, she published a work on Arab-Muslim migration towards Europe at the Journal of Identity and Migration Studies (JIMS). To DPA, Ana brings her passion for gender equality, environmental causes, and migrant rights and is happy to be a part of the gender team in Latin America.
